Meet Our Staff

MEET ROB ASSINI

Wine Ambassador

“Hello there! My name is Rob, I’ve lived in the area for about 24 years and I’m a Wine Ambassador at Murrieta’s Well. I have been a part of the team for over 6 years and I absolutely love it! After failing at retirement I decided to follow my passion for wine, which lead me to Murrieta’s Well, one of the best places in Livermore Valley.

I truly enjoy and appreciate it here because of the 500 acres that provide top quality fruit, 23 varietals that give us the flexibility to have a great breath of wines and blends, our sustainability commitment, and finally the family and history that comes with the story. I look forward to hosting you and sharing more of the rich history behind the estate.”

Did You Know?

2021 Tempranillo

83% Tempranillo | 17% Cabernet Sauvignon

Harvest: All of these varieties were picked in October 2021. The 2021 vintage was moderate to warm in the Livermore
Valley, without any major heat spikes. This allowed the fruit to get extra hang time on the vine, which brought out
the fruit and floral qualities even more. Overall, we saw good yields, healthy fermentations and high quality wines.

Fermentation: Each variety was grown, harvested, and fermented in small lots. Both varieties
were fermented separately in small stainless steel tanks where they were pumped over twice daily to gently extract all
of the wonderful aromatics and flavors.

Aging: After fermentation, the wine was aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak barrels and 50%
second use French oak barrels.
